TnE Anarchists doom is settled and
they will have to expiate their crimes
on the gallows on the 11th of Novem-

Supreme Court and the seven bomb

to send whole Chicago to an untimely
death will swing into eternity where
they can do no more harm with their
death-dealing bombs. II anymore

FRUITS OF HONEST GOVERN
MENT.
Receipts largely Observation-Disclosures
Largely Reduced.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE TIMES,
WASHINGTON, September 25.-The
fruits of honest, busl ness-like govern
ment are strikingly exhibited in the
administration Of the revenue laws,
which are the same under Cleveland
that there in operation under Arthur.
IL is natural tha. revenues should in
crease to some extent because OF the
steady growth OF the business of the
country, but the inyariable Iule hereto.
fore has been for tie expenditures, or
costs OF collection, TO increase all the
time, whether the revenues increased
or moi. In both the revenues from i'm
ports and internal taxes, there has been
"A steady and decided Increase of revenue
and as steady and decided decrease of
I he cost of collection under the present
administration.
The figures are taken from the Officl-
al records of the Treasury Department
and are thoroughly reliable. The fol-
lowing are the receipts from customs
for the fiscal ye ar ending June 80, 1885,
1856 and 1887 the year ending June
80, 1885, being the last year of the

1t is these substantial and beneicent
results of administering the govern :
nent on business principles, instesd Of
wasting the taxes Of the people lLparty
plunder, which make Cleveland strong
with the people and compel politicians
who are ever on the hunt for spoils TO
support the policy of the President
even against their own iDclinations.
The one iDflexible rule now in force IN
all public departments is that every of
fetal must perform his duty with the
same fidelity that would be demanded
in any business employment, and that
kind of government, the great mass OF
the people Of all parties want.

Terrific Storm In Texas.

brownsville, Texas. Srrt. 23.-A
cyclone passed over this section on
Wednesday night, the storm being ac-
companied by a tremend 'us rainfall,
which reached by actual measurement
ten inches. Seventy small houses In
this CITY were blown down aud three
hundred others partially damaged. Tele-
graph wires were badly disorRahizad,
and this prevented earlier information
OF the disaster reaching the outside
world. The total monetary loss IS be-
lieved to be 81 900, 900. No one was
killed, but many sustained injuries.

Brownsville, was entirely submerged

of cattle and sheep have been lost.
Crops OF cotton, corn aud sugar cane are
completely prostrated and destroyed.
In Brownsville the chief sufferers are
among the poor. Between sixty and

THE fairs, centennials, excursions,
picnics, and most Of the farm work is
now past and the democratic voters
should find time to pay some atten-
ton to their political duties. There
is not a particle of doubt that the
democratic county ticket will be elec-
ted, but we should not rest there. 1t
should be elected by large majority
and to do that it will be necessary to
organize in the several districts, and
see that every Democratic voter votes
Democratic from the head to the foot
of the ticket. None should stay at
home, all ought to be at the polls and
do their share in gaining complete
and glorious victory. Let US all get
to work and not rest until after the

APACHEs ON THE WAR PATH.
Two Hostile Bands Marching South
From the San Carlos Reservation.

TUsCoN, Arizona, September 25.-
Most intense excitement prevails in
this city over the reported outbreak OF
the San Carlos Apache Indians. A
courier arrived ct Pantano late yester-
day notifying all the settlers IN the val
ley that Two bands left the reservation
and were marching south. This is
supposed to be the result OF the k illing
OF Horton, the post trader. who was
murdered by the Indians Friday.
The outbreak bids fair to be Ut o very
serious character. Already two bands
are reported to be out and II such
is the case destruction OF life and
property will be great. Eskimizin Is
band will most surely join forces with
the San Carlos Apaches and make q
force OF nearly 2U0 we'll armed and
equipped hostiIes. No news has been
received, either at Benson or Wilcox.
Many do not believe that the outbreak
is as big as reported but dread any kind
OF one.
Messages have been sen In all direc.
tions notifying the people TO gather all
stock and the widest rumors are in cir
culation. none OF which can lie traced
to reliable foundation. The people a.
round Florence are in great state oi
excitement, fearing IN outbreak there.

A Wall from Texas.

A gentleman, says the Gait Gazette, in
writing to a friend in Gait, from Abilene,
Texas, under date of March 2Sth, gives
anything but glowing description of that
country. Among other things he says
" received your kind letter in due time,
and would have written before, but thought
| would wait for break in the terrible
gloom that has been hanging over this
country so long. So far it has been wait
ing in vain. We had no rain, except a
little sprinkle, since the 1st of last Noyem-
Der. The crops that have been sown are,
of course, total failures, and it will be but
a short time, if this drought continues,
when the cattle interests of this country
will be a thing of the past. A great many
have already died owing to the scarcity Of
grass and water. We are from day to day
hoping that we will get change in the
weather, although at this writing there are
no signs upon which to base our hopes
If we get rain soon the farmers will plant
cotton, and they will try to console them
selves with visions of big cotton crop, if
they can procure seed. People are now
talking of artesian wells, and should that
method OF irrigation be successful we may
hope for better times" II will be renlem-
bered that Abilene attracted a number
from this vicinity few years ago, and
most of them have returned, disguised
with the country.

HIS ONLY ONE.
An Indian Agent Objects to Giving Up
the Only Life He Had.


WASHINGTON. April 6;h.-Indian Com
missioner Atkins has received the follow
Ing letter from Indian Agent Z. c. Osborne,
at the Ponca, Pawnee and Otoe Agency,
Indian Territory, dated April 2, 1887 =:
=" With profound sense of regret | have
to report that in discharging yesterday E.
NJ. Smith, a farmer at Otoe, for general
bad conduct upon the agency, chiefly be-
cause of his ungovernable temper, which
was continually being turned loose upon
both employees and Indians, | had to kill
him in self defense He had repeatedly
threatened to kill the clerk in charge, a.
Young, s,ho reported his conduct and asked
that be be discharged. l went to Otoe to
explain to him my reasons for discharging
him, to hear his defense, if he had any, to
pay him his salary for the past quarter, and
to dismiss him. While very calmly per-
forming this duty he made violent attack
upon the clerk in charge, whom he
wounded in the arm, and then turned upon
Mr.. Bustice, the Agency blacksmith, and
myself, with cooked and leveled revolver,
and with the manner of maniac. / shot
him dead. l am thoroughly convinced
that l have saved three lives in taking his,
and when tits considered that one of those
three was my own, and the only one l
have, trust ! may be exoDerated."
Osborne is from Gallatin, Tenn, and has
been in charge of the Agency since August,
1885. Smith was one of his own ap-
pointeeS.

The Nen Del Monte.

Plans for the construction of the new
Del Monte Hotel are completed, and build
ing arrangements are being pushed rapidly.
Colonel G. +. Crocker said yesterday that
the new hotel would have twice the dining
room capacity of the old one, aud would
cost over 100000 more. 1t is thought it
will be open for guests on September 1st.
1t will have two elevators and number of
other conyeniences which the burned hotel
did not possess. The new Del Monte will
accommodate about 200 guests more than
the old, though it has not yet been decided
whether or not to build it a story higher.
The general character of the old hotel will
be preserved in the new one, and the old
front that was so much admired will be
copied. Asphaltum walks will be laid be-
tween the hotel and the clubhouse and
other Improvements made. The club house
and stable and baths are now closed, but
will be reopened this summer for the ac-
commodation of guests who visit Pacific
Grove. Mr.. Schoenwald has been instructed
to proceed at once to Pacific Grove and pre-
pare the hotel there for the accommoda-
ton of guests who desire to visit Monterey,
and line of stages will be put on between
the grove and the clubhouse and baths TO
keep up a connection between the grove
and the hotel, and leave a link between the
old and the new Del Monte.
Mr.. Crocker intends TO make the new
hotel essentially what was at first intended
that is, ladies' hotel. 1t will be made
as inviting to the guests as possible.-S +.
